Plot: Phil is in an abusive relationship with someone and Dan has feelings for Phil. Based off the song "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes. It's kinda angsty in the beginning, but there's a happy ending.

Italic text - Dan/Phil's thoughts. Also to put some "emphasis" on words.

"You shit! Why did you spill my drink on the floor!" Ashton yelled. He was Phil's boyfriend for about 2 years, and he's been abusing him throughout their whole relationship. At first, they were a happy couple with a great future, but Ashton began to be abusive to Phil, and things started going downhill.

"I-I'm sorry, Ashton. I didn't mean t-to do-" Phil got cut off by a painful slap to his face, leaving a handprint and a red mark on his face.

"If you're sorry, you would've been more careful! You're so fucking clumsy, Phil." Ashton shouted in Phil's damaged face.

I've had enough.

"Leave! Now! Go to that other shithead, Dan, or whatever." Phil turned his head to leave Ashton's apartment, a punch being thrown at his head.

I wanted to leave this craphole anyway.

Phil walked back home to the apartment he shared with his best friend Dan. Dan worried for him too much and Phil felt like he didn't deserve care so he tried his best to hide his injuries and self-harm scars.

As he was walking he got a text from Ashton.

😍👬 - I want to break up with you. You are so disgusting and clumsy, and you deserve to die.

Tears were in Phil's eyes now as he saw the text. He did want to break up with him now because he couldn't take the violence, but all those nasty things he threw at his face crumbled his heart to pieces.

He put up the hood of an oversized jacket Dan gave him, and unlocked the door. He was greeted with Dan on the sofa in his browsing position.

He looks cute.

You see, Phil has some hidden feelings for Dan. Dan was bi, so he didn't know if he liked him back. Dan was in love with him; ever since Phil got a boyfriend after Dan rejected him, he started to fall for the ebony haired boy, his best friend for 6 1/2 years.

"Hey, how was the movie night with Ashton?" Dan asked Phil, looking up from his laptop. The older boy shook his head, as if he's saying "I don't want to talk about it.", in which he totally doesn't.

Dan frowned. "Phil, what happened?" He stayed silent, sinking his head into a cushion. "Phil. You know I'm always gonna be here for you, right? We're best friends." Dan persuaded.

Well, we're best friends now, but I want to be more than just that. They both thought at the same time.

Phil still didn't utter a single word, but took off his jacket to show him the slap mark on his face, the bump on his head, and all the bruises and self harm scars. He finally spoke. "A-Ashton." was all the hurt boy said.

Dan was relieved that Phil spoke, but once he heard the name "Ashton" having to do with his scars, he now realised he's been hurting Phil.

Why the fuck did he do that? Phil is an absolute beauty, he never did anything wrong.

He looked up and down Phil's body, and into Phil's glossy eyes that now show fear instead of his usual happiness that sparkled in his eyes. He got up from his seat to give Phil a tight hug, being extremely careful not to hurt his already damaged body.

Phil burst in tears, wrapping his injured arms around Dan's neck, nudging his head into his shoulder. Dan stroked his straight black locks with one hand and rubbed circles on his back with the others.

After a while, the pair pulled away from the embrace and stared into each others eyes. Dan leaned down to kiss Phil's forehead softly. "It'll be okay, lion."

"I l-love you so much Dan. I've always had feelings for you even if I was dating him. I never knew why I couldn't accept those hidden feelings for you and just let go of Ashton."

"I love you too, Phil. I always have. I love you so much." The older boy smiled, which he hasn't done in a long time. Dan knew that it would take his lion time to get over the abuse, but was grateful that he was at least showing his gorgeous smile again.

"W-Will you be my new boyfriend? Please?" Phil asked Dan. He has been meaning to do this for a long time, and he's finally standing here doing so.

"Yes, Phil, I want to become yours and you to become mine. I promise I won't hurt you like Ashton." Dan said happily, stroking the cheek of who was now his boyfriend. Phil looked at him with his ocean blue eyes before falling into Dan's chest and crying once more; only this time, the tears are happy.

The younger instantly pulled him close, smiling as he put his cheek on top of his head.

It's time we seal our relationship with one thing.

Phil tilted his head up and put his hands on both sides of Dan's face. They both leaned in, and once they touched lips, the two felt emotions of happiness and pure love. When Phil pulled away, Dan frowned in his mind because he wanted to have this moment last forever, but smiled because Phil is now his and will be his forever.

They went on the couch and cuddled, celebrating their relationship. Phil was on top of Dan, clinging onto him as if the world was going to end.

Dan grabbed Phil's wrist carefully, and kissed the bruises and cuts one by one. The other boy felt so many positive emotions as his boyfriend was doing this; he felt safe, loved, and protected, emotions that he's never felt when being with his ex.

The taller man kissed every scar visible, fixing his pain with love every kiss. As he was doing this, he heard Phil's breath even out, which tells him that he's peacefully sleeping.

"Goodnight, baby. I love you so much. I promise things will get better, love." Dan placed multiple kisses on the side of his face before wandering off to dreamland with Phil.

I'll treat you better than he ever can.
